The colossal vase by Westmacott, executed as a memento of the Battle of Waterloo, has lately been placed on one of the lawns in an amphitheatre of trees. It stands in front of his Majesty's summer-house, which is quaint in design, and was brought from the old Spring Gardens at Whitehall, The views down the wide glades, with the groups of tall trees, the bridges, the herbaceous borders, and the wealth of flowering shrubs, make the garden altogether one of singular charm considering it is even more truly "in the midst of a great city" than when the Duke of Buckingham described the same spot nearly 200 years ago.
